the fauns. they destroyed Mt. St. Helen's once upon a time.
so that says they are powerful. unless one is already telepathic they'll turn your brains to mush when they try to speak in your mind.
With Toby they tried to whisper softly. the portions of his brain used to controll such body things as breathing and heart beat were spared.
a few small areas of his memory storage spots (i think it's called Hippocampus. i slept through the lecture.) were affected by a total destruction of cells.
to describe it... it's like Rattlesnake venom. their venom turns tissue into liquid dinner. parts of his brain were turned to goo.
parts of his memory are just gone. like early childhood. not Mary's wedding cause that was binge drinking.
some of hypothalmus (i think that's the name for the bit in the back of your head that is affected by liquor first) was hit too.
and parts of his brain for thought processes were also touched.
the Fauns after realizing he was just knocked out in a numb stupor, instead of dead, tried to fix him.
the fauns that caused massive volcano activity. i see it as trying to catch a butterfly with a hammer.
in the end they did fix him. sorta.
for his brain they meddled around trying to solidify the goo. some areas took better than others. thought processes are one. hypothalmus was a semi sucess, and the fauns gave up on the hippocampus. a few of his exceedingly mild OCD tendancies are from this. and extreme headaches at times. after the fauns he refuses to let magic near his grey matter.
when they tried to fix him they also twisted his animagus abilities. not only can he meander as a fox, but he's a were fox.
He changes in moments of extreme " ZOMG!! ONOES!!" panic, stress, and fear.
but he tries to control that because like a were wolf he's stuck for a few days.
it isn't pleasant either. Lupin wasn't without pain from his changes. so why should Toby be?
the fauns apologised, but Toby wasn't happy none the less.
